BATTLEFIELD AIRBORNE COMM NODE (BACN)

Abstract

Battlefield Airborne Communications Node (BACN) enables tactical edge Joint and Coalition information interoperability via air, space, and surface systems; Backbone Network for high capacity data transfer. Military GPS is required for BACN fleet to fly in increasingly contested AORs. Safety of flight considerations, including performance, integrity, availability, and continuity of service requirements for long range reference, local area reference, and landing/terminal reference, are directly affected by how GPS sensors are used. This effort will include an Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) that will develop and integrate Military GPS on the E-11A BACN platform. Deployable Program Control Elements (PCEs) are required to provide agile deployment support to establish remote and full ground control locations in a timely manner to shorten the kill-chain. This effort will include an Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) that will develop a Deployable PCE. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver BACN capabilities. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605826F, 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605830F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605898F, and 0605833F.
